All you have to do is Follow the Instructions below:

1. You MUST use iTUNES. While I would like to see more reviews on CD Baby, I'm doing this promotion especially for iTunes. So if you want to Win a CD, you'll need to download and install iTunes so you can review the CD if you don't already use it.

2. Email me at marc (at) thebards (dot) net. Put “TALK_TO_MARC_GUNN” in the subject line and in the body of the message, post “I want a Free Copy of Victims of Irish Music”. Don't forget your name and mailing address in the message.

3. I'll then email you and tell you the link to download the album of MP3s in a ZIP file.

4. Listen to the album.

5. Go back to your blog and post a review of what you think of the CD. Include a link to http://www.celticmusic.org/Victims_Of_Irish_Music.shtml

6. Post a review on CD Baby at http://cdbaby.com/cd/victimsirishmusic/from/celtic/

7. Post a review on iTunes.

8. Once that is done, I'll send you a copy of the album.

That's all that is required to win. However, if you enjoy the album, you can do more to help promote the CD, like:

  • Tell your friends to read about the CD review
  • Tell others once the album is released on CDBaby.
  • Cross-post your review on Livejournal, iTunes, Myspace, Facebook, Message Boards, and include a link to the CD.

That's it. Once I have my TWENTY Reviewers, I will post a message here.
